The Very Hungry Caterpillar Storytelling, Activities & Crafts

Share Button

One of my all time favorite children’s books is The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. I’ve always loved it and now my kids love it too. We spent last month learning about life cycles and having fun finding caterpillars everywhere around our house, so it seemed like the perfect time to get in a few fun activities and crafts to go along with our book.

I found this amazing storytelling set from Happyfeltworld and immediately fell in love with it. When I started looking at all of the handmade sets I was in awe. I knew I needed to have a few for our house. Hands on learning is so important for kids and these can be enjoyed forever.

If you haven’t tried storytelling with your kids you should definitely start. Storytelling is a wonderful way to communicate and act out favorite stories. It helps children visualize what is taking place and keeps them interested in the story. By storytelling, you are boosting their imagination and creativity. Giving them the knowledge they need to think and know what is taking place. Make it fun, ask questions, get them involved. You will see the excitement in their eyes.
